"Do not plan. All is well. Wonderful things are happening. Do not limit God at all. He cares and provides for you. Uproot self, the channel blocker. The way will unfold. Step by Step. Leave tomorrows burden."
What have I learned from YOU?
Joy is a reflection of your presence.
Don't point fingers.... usually I do or say the same things as the people I am pointing at.
DO NOT FEAR. God is with us.
Seek out the lost and forgotten. Don't respect people because of their position or power, but because He cares for them.
Run to God whenever I feel uneasy or my peace is ruffled. His love doesn't go away (or come) because of my victories or failures, or how many times I use His name. His love sweeps away my doubts and fears. I have His attention and I will never lose it.
Laugh more, laugh often, Love more. He is with me, He is my Lord.

It is not what you do, but who you are that matters.
Everything must rest on your relationship with God. Force comes through resting in Him. Only love is a conquering force.
DO NOT BE AFRAID. He will help you. Take heart.
Do not fear. Say 'all is well' to everything. God is with you. Never
doubt His love and power. Daily, steady persistance.
Your daily persistance will wear away your difficulties and gain success for you, and secure your help for others.
It is not 'how do I feel' but what does GOD say? He says such delightful things that to find them out becomes your supreme delight.
People in general are so selfish and self centered. But go forward, you are only beginning the new life. Stay grateful and enjoy the fullness of God's plan.
"the most common mistake people make in worship is seeking an experience rather then seeking God. They seek a feeling and if they find it, they conclude that they have worshipped." How often we concern ourselves with what we are to do, when what God wants is for us to be really connected to HIM.
It is not what you do, it is WHO YOU ARE that matters.

REFUSE to be depressed.
Love and Laugh. God is with you. He bears your burdens. He sustains you. When you are sustained ... you can help lift someone else's burden.
Our foolish little activites are pointless without Him.
He forgives our neglecting His commands and says,
"Start new today!"
It is not WHAT YOU DO, but WHO YOU ARE that is the miracle
working power.
How many burdens can you lighten this year?
How many hearts can you cheer and help?
TIMID?
FAITHLESS?
We still can become leaders, healers, conquerors through God.
Our love walk can readily be seen by how we treat people who cannot do us any good, people with whom we are not interested in developing a relationship.
Treat everyone with respect, to make them feel valued, to listen to them when they are talking to us, and not judge them.
God is no respecter of persons.

Angry, Unappreciated.
Feeling unappreciated? Angry?
"We all want it, we all need it, but we don't always OFFER it.
It only takes a minute to tell your loved ones why you appreciate who they are and what they do. Be specific. Then be on the lookout for their step to quicken and those eyes to sparkle!
God help us to be sensitive to our spouses efforts and to praise them daily."

YOU ONLY SHED LIGHT WHERE YOU ARE WILLING TO HEAL
BE CALM. DO NOT BE AFRAID. Do not fear. Phil. 4:14
It is God's will for us to have our dignity restored. God wills for us to walk out our lives with dignity and security. Spend time with God, rest assured that the time alone with God will also benefit every other relationship and circumstance in your life. Set all other priorities aside for a while so that a healthier soul can pick them up. Count on the absolute certainty that God will hear you and meet you through the power of His Spirit. Grant us Lord the supernatural confidence that we are safe with you and loved by you. Help us to trust that YOU ONLY SHED LIGHT WHERE YOU ARE WILLING TO HEAL. Beth Moore
Do not be afraid. I am your God and your deliverer. From all evil I will deliver you. Trust Me. Fear not. Never forget your thank you. You must say thank you on the greyest days.
Luke 8:50 Do not be seized with alarm or struck with fear. Simply believe that I am able to do this and that you (or your loved one) will be made well.
Walk Day by Day. Do not take anything for your journey, not money, walking stick, food, nor a collection bag. Luke 9:3

IF ONLY I KNEW..........
"Settle down, it will all be clear, don't mind the demons, don't let them fill you with fear." Phillips
FEAR NOT.
Struggling with an inablity to exert myself for fear of being misunderstood.
However absence can have a bigger impact then conflict in communication.
" When people pull away, the lies grow, and the truth fades into a whisper. Isolation kills love. Fight to stay connected, and fight to help those you love stay connected. People long for a connection that heals." Devotions for on the go.
Feeling stressed, emotionally unsettled? Give an old trusted friend a call and have them pray for you! Encourage each other and build each other up 1 Thess. 5:11
Ironically when you pull away, your lack of influence leaves a hole for any other influence to fill the gap. Absence causes great damage. But on the flip side, fighting, arguing just to prove you are right does not make good communication... Arguing just to establish you are top dog certainly drives people away as well.
Fear is what keeps us from direct communication.
........to be continued....

that my past is no excuse for who I am now,
that truth could have set me free to change.
"Overwhelmingly, men use one word to describe what they do when they feel insecure: withdraw. One way or the other, a man who feels insecure will often force space. If quietness doesn't work, excessive irritation, or anger can usually do the job. " Beth Moore So Long Insecurity

There is no God.
The empty headed fool has said "There is no God."
Get your manna daily. Just as the Israelites had to gather their manna day by day, we, also need to have tunnel vision. We need to realize that we must put one foot in front of the other. Do the 'next thing' on our duties of the day. Know that God is providing for TODAY. Do not worry about tomorrow. He has provided what you need today!
Do today what is the next thing to do. Not until heaven is reached do souls sit and drink in the joy of God's revelation. At the moment we are pilgrims and we need to daily march. So get your daily marching orders, and strength, and guidance for the day. Have your prayer time. Listen.
Do not seek out the BABBLE of the world... internet, t.v., news, phone....
If you put this before your time with God, your spirit will be overcome. You cannot handle all this information....you were not meant to.
Do not rebel. When a less than perfect attribute of yours is discovered....or pointed out....Do you react with sarcasm? Do you attack, blame and act defensively? This contradicts our Lord's essence of love. Listen, and realize, that it is okay to not be perfect.
If you are not 'right', that does not make you any less valuable of a person.
Why do we feel that if we are not perfect we are a failure. Quit over reacting to your faults! Emotional well being means 'progress, not perfection'
Next time you are afraid, or feeling guilty because you are afraid... afraid to drive, afraid to talk in front of people, afraid to do something different, to fly, own up to your fear, ask for prayer, run to prayer, refuse the guilt. Walk forward knowing that there is a whole lot of imperfect people , in fact, all of us are imperfect.
Remember, PROGRESS, not PERFECTION. It is okay.
